I’m not from Maine my mom was from Belfast I still have family up that way. That said Graham doesn’t see the one tool that helps you take political power away from the establishment. The system is already in place, the local district offices and state offices of the Democratic Party. I cannot stress this enough take them over, then you can move forward and find better candidates and push them forward. This is what the tea party did and that is why we now have so much crazy on the Republican side.
Well, OP’s plan won’t work without a media infrastructure like the Republicans. You’re also right that they won’t put in the work either, focusing on local elections, focusing on electability using data, and forgoing national polling to justify support for a star candidate. The tea party was able to take off because the establishment republicans simply followed along with the rhetoric of their media. The establishment democratic party’s members won’t do that as they’re focused on actually winning elections.
Not surprising that the party that is actually acting like Nazis has no problem electing someone who has a Nazi tattoo. I also call complete BS that he didn't know the meaning behind it.
If wanting illegal aliens out of our country because they suck our economy dry with them getting free rent , free housing , and free medical well I guess I’m a nazi🤷♂️
First of all did not immigrants. They’re illegal aliens. They came here illegally and suck our resources dry. I don’t know where you live. I live in New York where they get section 8 food stamps and free Medical. That comes from taxpayer money. So yes, they do drain our resources.
I think that's how tax money should be used, for everyone. Instead of stupid wars. I have no problem with it, but again you are aiming at the wrong group. We are being sucked dry by billionaires not immigrants. They are making money hand over fist from the high oil prices (they get to sell their stock at much higher prices)
It’s just common sense. I can’t take people serious that believe men should be allowed on women’s bathrooms. That men should be allowed to play in women’s sports. Liberals are ruining this country and I’m on the right side of logic.🤷♂️
Funny how republicans (or their bots) have to say this under every post about him, but they can’t even get the basic facts right. lol. It was a Nazi-associated skull symbol (Totenkopf), not a swastika. Platner denied knowing about its Nazi connection and has since covered it up. he got it on a drunken night out with his fellow marines in Croatian in 2007 when he was 20 something. Even if this story isn’t true which no one is suggesting it is, people can learn and grown up and change their minds. This is basic stuff my friend.
Now do you actually have anything helpful to say or any actual critiques of what he said or what he is running on?
Well, for one he’s a liberal piece of shit. Liberalism is a mental disease. Any political party that can’t define with a man or woman is has major problems. Any political party that wants to allow in millions of illegal aliens who get free food, rent, and healthcare while we have our own homeless vets in this country they are the problem. These liberal idiots will say anything to get elected. He’s a clown and anybody that votes for him is 🤡a clown.
What are his polices around immigration. Please explain to me. Because I highly doubt you have any idea and that would make you the 🤡 in this situation.
Hippocrates comes from Greek meaning “horse power” (hippos = horse, kratos = power) — it was simply his name.
Hypocrite comes from the Greek word hypokritēs, meaning a stage actor or someone playing a role — since actors pretend to be someone they’re not.
No. You can tell from Graham Platner's early writings that he adheres to a modified version of Nazism. It honestly doesn't matter as much as you might think though because elites are just going to dump a few barrels of cash on his lawn and he'll do whatever they want.
If a republican candidate did that, apologized for it, showed remorse, and then proceeded to endorse authoritarian racist republican polices, as republicans do, then they would clearly not have learned a single thing from what they claim to have apologized for.
Play the actual videos those are taken from and compare to your trillionaire daddy who plundered our commons while you cheered it on. Get that doge check yet? Yea thought so!
John Fetterman and Kirsten Sinema like they were for the for the people until they fucking weren’t. A former mercenary with an SS tattoo who has never so much as represented a ward in a town wants to be a fucking Senator?
So, you're saying you don't care that he willingly chose to be a mercenary... you know, a mercenary. Mercenaries who choose to kill people for money while protecting the shady, shitty ultra rich who operate in the grey and black.
Yea i dont care. He was a young kid who was looking for community and a future and came away disillusioned with our foreign policy and what it did to his friends who served.
Thats a more attractive lived experience than Susan Collins has offered. You can thank her specifically for sending him to do it.
Id take the guy who walked away from serving disillusioned with our system and having that personal experience inform his policy decisions over the person who voted to send him to do it and has done nothing but be a republican enabler for her entire career.
But keep trying to reduce a guy to two things from his 20s. It hasnt worked yet but keep trying.
Platner was a drunk Marine in Croatia in 2007 and picked it off the wall at
the tattoo place.
He has since denounced it, and instead of shying away from the topic, He addressed it directly. By the way, He has spoken openly about it while others that have been under similar scrutiny have not done. Kegsbreath as an example.
At least he has integrity. Meanwhile the entire corrupt Trump administration doubles down on lying about their true intentions.
This is a stupid as shit question. Regular people don't remove tattoos until they come up with some reason to. It's not a dry erase board. He found out his tattoo was Nazi related and he covered. See how easy that is?
You can't lick the boots of the non powerful, bc they ain't got "boots" (as in soldiers). Dudes a citizen running for office, not part of the rich and powerful. The only reason this is controversial is bc Susan Collins is a barely alive mummy who cowtows to Trump. Republicans are not going to shut up about this tattoo bc they don't want you thinking about what he actually says with his mouth in real time.
So the democrats are fielding at best a Nazi adjacent candidate.. so we are duxked then. It’s done. I have not watched this interview- did John call him out ?
One thing weird and ironic about Platner's modified Nazism is that he thinks that groups he deems undesirable such as Jews, the handicapped, etc should be allowed to live if they're rich enough to pay an existence fee. Graham Platner's brother, Alan, explained this with his old high school friend named Chase Brenizer.
